It may not be entirely because of this, but I believe it’s because of humidity and wind speed. High humidity means less heat is being taken away from your body by evaporation, and lower wind speed similarly means less heat is being pulled away from your body, but I’m not sure if those are the only/relevant factors.

The felt temperature is called the heat index if I’m not mistaken.
